Mountain View, Calif.—Putting Microsoft Corp. in the cross hairs again, Google has introduced Google Sites, free Web software that is part of its Google Apps suite. Google Sites lets a group of people create a centralized Web site and share information. It includes e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet software and a calendar application, creating a repository for sharing documents, videos, photos and presentations. The product will compete with Microsoft’s SharePoint collaboration program.
